I have read several references to the Off Topic newsgroup. At first I thought it was an inside joke, but the posts certainly seemed serious about it. It does not appear in http://info.borland.com/newsgroups/#listnews Nor does it appear, when I am in a borland ng and click the Newsgoups button in Outlook Express. I am hand-crafting some html for display in a TWebBrowser control, and want to know the html code to shade a table light gray, but not affect the background color of the rest of the page. The html book I bought does not give me a clue. I am asking either where to look for the answer or, if I'm lucky, just how to do it. If this is not the right place to ask either way, perhaps the OffTopic group would be, but I can not find it. Perhaps a link in the reply?

Believe me, Off-topic is *not* a good place to go with technical questions. Oh by all means do try, you'll make their day, but a serious answer is very very very very very unlikely, if you catch my drift. You may want to try the delphi.vcl.components.using group, or .internet.winsock. Not sure where TWebBrowser really belongs. good luck, Kristofer Back to top Ingvar Nilsen Guest Posted: Wed Aug 20, 2003 1:43 pm    Post subject: Re: Where is Off Topic?

This is the off-topic group, just ask Craig Stuntz <G> Or you can try borland.public.off-topic. But since this post is on-topic, I will not set a follow-up to off-topic, no, I just will not.. -- Ingvar Nilsen Back to top Lauchlan M Guest Posted: Wed Aug 20, 2003 1:44 pm    Post subject: Re: Where is Off Topic?

Borland.public.off-topic (not borland.public.delphi.off-topic).

The html book I bought does not give me a clue. I'd just search on google. Just set the background color for the row/cell/table to #e0e0e0 IIRC. Also try searching for web safe colours and you should find a chart of them. Finally, you could just use a free HTML tool like composer (ships with Mozilla) and grab the code the WYSIWYG produces and reuse that.
